That's the Rat King.

Luo Zixuan had previously learned the identity of the leader of the ratmen through the scanning of the field.

If the mechanical orb is also exposed to the scanning area, he will also know this information in advance.

The Rat King had apparently been watching the battle from the castle tower and giving orders.

Now, seeing that his subordinates were demoralized, he walked out of the command hall and showed a tall and strong figure.

His appearance immediately encouraged the defenders and ushered in bursts of cheers!

Luo Zixuan watched this scene quietly, and his heart did not fluctuate.

In his view, individuals who can bring hope will naturally bring despair when they die.

The rat people here, although not religious, have a hero worship.

The object of their worship is this extremely burly and powerful rat king who is born different from ordinary people!

The figure of the Rat King, who has appeared countless times in battles with the monsters in the pits, inspires the people.

In this plane, he is the strongest and the natural leader!

However, Luo Zixuan didn't care about his deeds of beating the monsters that poured out of the ground at best.

He just analyzed the nature of the rat king's peculiar individual being sought after by the rat people with mechanical thinking.

That's genetic variation.

In the current universe, without the blessing of God, genetic mutation is the only way to make the flesh significantly stronger than that of creatures of the same family without relying on technology. It usually happens randomly on an individual.

But as Luo Zixuan's strength becomes stronger, the civilization under his command becomes stronger and stronger, and sooner or later biological gene technology will be developed. Biological structures can be artificially modified.

Luo Zixuan learned from the database of the Throne of the Mechanical God that the gene originally belonged to one of the four major technology trees of the Old Universe race, and it also corresponded to a flight route.

These tech trees are magic, genes, psionics, and machines.

Except for the mechanical technology tree, which was developed by the ancient mechanical civilization later, the other three technology trees have existed since the birth of the universe.

The four tech trees are not completely isolated, they can be integrated with each other. The Gene Tech Tree is the most widely integrated.

Like in the current universe, the so-called magical gods are generally able to strengthen and transform the flesh of their followers, which actually involves the content of many genetic technology trees.

The mechanical civilization, in the process of transitioning to the body of steel, also heavily modified carbon-based lifeforms, turning them into super soldiers, so that they have more physical strength and strength, and heavier loads.

At that time, the distinction between a civilization and a god and which tech tree belonged to still depended on the main tendencies.

For example, a civilization may also use psionic energy, but as long as it mainly evolves, mutates, and enhances carbon-based bodies, it is a genetic technology race.

However, in the current universe, before Luo Zixuan's appearance, except for those races that had not unlocked the technology tree at all, there were only magic-based civilizations.

The Gene and Psionic Tech Tree routes don't even require the Supreme God to be locked.

There was no sign of psionic energy at all.

Genetic mutations only occasionally occur in a single individual, and do not have much diffusion, so they naturally cannot form a technology tree.

So none of this needs to be bothered by the Supreme God. Even if a race with collective awakening psionic energy and genetic technology routes is occasionally found, it can directly exterminate all races of the same kind in all planes or force them to convert to magical gods, so as to prevent future troubles.

Because, according to the experience of the old universe, this collective awakening usually does not occur in only one plane. It has always been the awakening of the same race in the whole universe, and the difference is only in the chronological order.

But the mechanical tech tree is different.

It is a man-made ascension route. It doesn't exist in the world.

In order to reach the level of becoming a mechanical civilization, during this period, it is actually the study of science and even philosophy in the whole field, which is used as a precursor.

If you want to invent a high-tech object, you have to first get out of the hundreds of pre-inventions that preceded it.

And any one pre-invention may have more pre-inventions.

In fact, as long as the inhabited divine realm has enough natural resources for scientific exploration and the existential pressure that forces its development, any intelligent race with a good enough brain will sooner or later embark on the path of science and begin to solve these precursor inventions step by step.

After a long enough time, until many mature civilizations begin to break away from their planes, sooner or later, there will be races that will develop into mechanical civilizations because they want to survive the extermination plague.

This also means that the Supreme God cannot prevent the emergence of mechanical civilization by brutal means such as genocide, and can only be analyzed according to the specific situation of each plane. However, there are too many planes in the whole universe, and the cost of governance is extremely high.

In Luo Zixuan's data analysis, the establishment of the Divine World and the Academy of Divine Beings is, in fact, due to the Supreme God's desire to share the pressure of hindering the birth of mechanical civilization.

It's much easier to send those low-level gods who are easy to control and belong to the same magic system to do these chores than to do it yourself all the time.

Luo Zixuan believes that although it has not yet been analyzed whether there is a direct connection between the two things, it is indeed necessary to consider what the true identity of the supreme god is, and whether there are other reasons for being so afraid of the birth of mechanical civilization.

These two things are listed by him as important information in the database.

1: In the era of annihilation in the old universe, the magical civilization and gods were the first to perish under the attack of the outer gods attracted by the signs of annihilation, and the galaxy where the kingdom of God was located was directly hit by dimensionality reduction.

The genetic line died out a little later, destroyed by the great plague spread by the outer gods that caused all living things in the universe to rot.

The exact time of the demise of the psionic system is unknown, but it is speculated that its escape plan failed, and it was destroyed in the universe along with the mechanical civilization that was born at the end of the old universe.

2: There were not so many planes in the old universe, and the intelligent races mainly lived on planets.

There have never been intelligent races on the planets of the New Universe, and each race lives in a finite plane, which is named the Divine Domain by the Supreme God.

The original meaning of the name is questionable, and it is speculated that it was created by the Most High God. In this case, is there a connection between this behavior and the destruction of the magical civilization of the old universe?

Luo Zixuan suspected that the old cosmic magic civilization was not extinct. But that's just speculation.

At present, there is insufficient information to make a strong judgment that can adequately explain one's own body. Also, I'm afraid I won't be able to get any more new information for the time being.

At least, not until he defeats the High God and forces him to reveal the truth.

Although he was vaguely aware of the many potentially terrifying truths hidden behind this, Luo Zixuan did not feel anxious or uneasy at all, let alone fear.

These useless emotions are judged by him to be unnecessary, and will only cause redundant data to interfere with the calculation.

The god of machines had already calculated and rigorously analyzed all the data available, and no amount of pressure could make him waver in the slightest.

He sat on the throne of the god of machines, calmly and "staring" at the battlefield without emotion.

The battle scenes of the rat-man plane, as well as the trillions of other trillions of data that are being consulted simultaneously, are directly instilled into the thinking circuits and visual processors.

He's watching.

The god of machines watches over everything.

But he doesn't need an eye device at all to receive this information.
